Who's Dead, Doc?

Who’s Dead, Doc? (Book 2 in the Jules and Bun Mystery Series) by J. M. Griffin 320 pages

 This is the second book in Jules and Bun Mystery Series.  Like this one, the first one was cute.

Juliette “Jules” Bridge rescues ad provides lifelong shelter for rabbits.  She has one, Bun, who is her best friend and plays Watson to her Sherlock. While the bond between the two is undeniable, it’s their ability to communicate telepathically with each other.  A stretch I know, but it works.  I wish I had telepathic abilities with my pet rabbit; it would be useful.

Jules’ Fur Bridge Farm is in rural New Hampshire, although the lack of scenery could make this Anywhere, USA. Jules makes her living taking the rabbits to kids’ birthday parties along with a friend who does a puppet show.

At this outing, Evelyn, a local woman, is found dead near the party. Bun has a desire to get involved with the investigation, but Jules is reluctant, especially given the events from Book One. 

Against his better judgement, Sheriff Jack Carver enlists Jules’ help. Evelyn was the judge at a local rabbit competition, which is much like a dog show. So Jules and Bun go undercover to help solve Evelyn’s murder.

The cast of characters from Book One are also here: the college kids who help out at Fur Bridge Farm, Jessica the vet who has a clinic at said farm, the rabbits (especially Willy Walkabout, a bun who is an escape artist), Molly who runs the gift shop and teaches spinning classes and more.

If you’re looking for a page-turner, this isn’t the book for you. However it is fun.  I already miss Jules and Bun. Can’t wait for Book Three!  “Who’s Dead, Doc?” receives 4 out of 5 stars in Julie’s world.
